Hundertwasser's comment on the work
When one develops one`s thoughts, they get going in odd directions, and the same familiar shapes and colours condense to form more and more new shapes; just as a river flows or clouds form, branches spread out. I used this painting for the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo; it is a kind of ski-jump-downhill-reverse course. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 606)
